In this week's gallery we visited businesses all over the city to photograph Woonsocket's business owners. Do you recognize these faces? Tell us in the comments.

Maybe you need some hints? I see a few business owners from Main Street! And one woman pictured is probably pretty busy this month with the school year starting soon...

Many look familiar...but the 3 of 10 (5.) is George from George's Tailoring and 6 of 10 (4.) is the woman from the school uniform store on N. Main St. Also 4 of 10 (2.) works at one of the diners on Main St.-not sure which one. Michelle very clever not giving too much background away.

Carrie, you already identified #4 as Theresa Fanning owner of Brooks Uniforms on Main Street and you also correctly identified #5 as George Blacksmith, owner of George's Tailoring on Park Avenue. Tammy you are correct, your wonderful Father, Rene Belanger # 3, owns Flea Market Square on Main Street and TatEmpress, you are also correct, # 8 is Monique Ladry, owner of Hair We Are on Front Street. Great job to these three ladies, does anyone know the rest of our private business owners ?

Michelle, I meant #2 works in a diner...I was confused with the numbering...the ones on the photo next to your name are different from the actual order they are listed in.
